ca]ollng and prayers failed to win, The
very lines which few years ago were
haughsily declining all overtures are
nov making the first advances. Years
ago Omaha had hard struggle TO secure
tue entrance OF railroads within her
corporate limits. Now it is the rail
roads themselves who are struggling for
entrance. -Four great trunk sy stems are
htmly located among us and an equal
number OF 40 less important lines are
preparing to make Omaha their Missouri
river terminus. Our vast commercial
interests, our growing industrial I'M
portance. the stock yards and great
city doubling IN population every five
years apd advancing more rapidly than
any other metropolis of its size in the
west, are the magnets which are drawing
iron rails and the steam horse to closer
and more vital connection with this
prosperous community. Omaha, working
steadily if slowly upwards by her
own capital and through her own re-
sources, has finally reached point
where capital is eagerly seeking invest
ment in her midst anxious to advance
the boom and to find remunerative re-
turns in the general prosperity. Within
ten years We have passed from town to
a city, and from city to metropolis.
The men and corporations who formerly
watched with little interest the tagging
wagon OF slow progress are now fever
iously anxious to catch on behind and
take ride with the procession. And
they shall be welcome. There is room
enough for all.

Two bills have been introduced in the
Dakota legislature upon the subject OF
alcoholic stimulants. Mr.. Dodd, of the
house. presents one providing for fine
and imprisonment against the party
who is found under the effect of liquor.
Mr.. Fletcher, also of the house, puts for
ward measure in behalf OF improved
local option. This bill provides that on
the application OF one fourth of the
legal voters of any counry it becomes
the duty of the county clerk or register
OF deeds to order an election, at which
the question of license for the sale oil
liquors in the couaty shall be submitted
In case majority Of the votes cast are
against such license, any person selling
or giving away liquor within the limits
of the county will be punished for the
first ofense by fine not less than $50
nor more than 5000 or by Imprisonment
not exceeding fifty days; for each ad-
ditional offense by fine not less than
S1G0 nor more than $500, or by imprison-
ment in Jail not exceeding three months.
The house committee on Temperance,
which consists of Messrs. Fletcher,
Sprague, Harkins, Dodd, Pattep, Mali
lory and Wise, is strongly lu favor of
legislation against the liquor traffic and
there is probably majority in the house
sharing their views.

Gently received at the treasury depart

portation OF neat cattle from oil foreign
countries except Canada is only permit

further that the late careful investlga-

has charge of all quarantine matters are

have been introduced into this country
from foreign countries. In view of these
facts the department must decline at
this time to enforce the prohibition
requested in your letter.

ln the Nebraska legislature the Van
Wyck boom seems to have exhausted
itself. His full strength was developed
at sixty-seven votes and no more could
be mustered. Whereupon his followers
announced their intention to enter the
stalwart republican caucus to save the
election OF a democratic senator. Wea-
yer and Thurston appear to be ahead in
the race. There are Indications that to.
day will settle the Nebraska contest.
President Oleveland's endorsement OF

The Bismarck correspondent of the
st. Paul Globe. writing about the
failure of the new combination to over
turn the organization of the lower house
OF the legislature, says:
Ii is generally conceded that the
north, in the failure to carry out the
scheme, has lost many important points,
which she cannot recover during the
session. Sullivan and Mentzer, it is
claimed. are here for the purpose OF
getting the United States court from
Yankton to Mitchell, scheme alleged
to be backed by the Milwaukee road,
They were in the plot of Monday and
the chances for making courts are vague.
1t Is foregone conclusion that the
United States conrts will remain In
Yankton for at least two years.
This correspondent says the revolu-
tiopary combination was arranged by
Alex Mckenzie and E. A. Williams, of
Bismarck, and ]. a.. Jones, of Charles
Mix county. The attempt has solidified
the south and weakened the north and
the southern allies of the north are shorn
OF influence for good or for evil The
south is now strong and aggressive. The
court scheme has taken its legitimate
place-as one of the projects OF the north.
1t is on the list among the sectional
issues,

Emphasis is given to previous assert
ions that at the opening of the legisla-
tive session Bismarck had only two
favors to ask-the approval of the report
OF the capital commission (an organiza-
tion SO far unrecognized by Dakota
legislatnre) and a generous appropria-
ton for the completion OF the capitol
building. With these unpopular objects
in view the prudent course would have
been one OF conciliation and conserva-
tism in all matters of local or sectional
significance. But Bismarck chose to be
aggressive, even to the extent of at
tempting the overthrow Of the organiza-
tion fthe house, and the result is that
it can now dismiss all hope fer any
financial aid in behalf OF its hungry
capitol elephant. In the language of a
st. Paul newspaper representative:
1t is given out that the north stands
no show this session OF getting an
appropriation to complete the capitol,
and il she gets any thing for the Bis
marck penitentiary it will be very small
amount. The Bonth is now antagonistic
and for the manner in which her law
makers have been monkeJed with they
propose to have o sweet revenge.

The legislature, in its efforts to ban
ish from the capitol building at Bis
marck an establishment Tor the sale OF
liquor, has rue against an impedlment.
The territory has never accepted the
capitol building and it belongs prscti-
cally to the Northern Pacific railroad
company, though under Immediate
charge of the capital commission. The
legislature therefore, it is held, has no
jurisdiction in the case, though it is not
probable that any court would coincide
with this view OF the case. The legisla-
ture has power to restrict end limit the
sale OF liquor upon the premises of any
citizen or combination of citizens and
has done it in many notable instances.

CHASTITY DISCOVERY.
sixty Skeletons of Men Who Haye Been
Murdered Found in an Old Cave in
Tennessee.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 80.
The people of this section are excited over
the ghastly discovery made Monday near
Cookville, situated on what was knowa many
years ago as Kentucky Stock road This
was at that time the principal highway for
traders between Kentucky and Georgia or
South Carolina. Stopping places on the
road were few and far between and many
men, returning after selling their stock,
never reached home. Some years ago
skeleton was found at the entrance to a cave
near Cookville, and few days ago, party
concluded to explore the cave. Back on the
mountain side about one half mile from one
of the stopping places, on the old road, the
entrance to the cave wa, found, hole some
thing like we'll, g, ing straight down some
thirty-five feet, was first passed through, and
then the cave opened into large caverns, with
a downward course.
At the bottom of the shaft the party found
human bones and with little digging in the
debris that had accumulated, unesrthed
about sixty skeletons of men who had been
murdered and thrown down the hole. Some
of the skulls were found with bullet holes
through them, others being smashed with an
axe or instrument of that kind Old citizens
now living in the vicinity, say that the keep
ers of these dens would keep track of travel
ers when they passed through with stock,
and on their return they would be almost
certain to disappear. There is another cave
twenty miles from Cookville, near one of the
ancient inns, and an exploration of it will
also be made.
